Anti-Americanism not part of Chomsky's argument

I AM surprised at Tom Carew's remarks about Noam Chomsky (Irish Examiner letters, January 24).

His letter is unfair to Amnesty and RTÉ and is also a strident and uninformed attack on a perceived anti-Americanism - which is not part of Chomsky's argumentation.

Chomsky is one of the world's leading thinkers. He is one of a minority who put their reputations on the line to question the motives and results of political action.
